    I take it you recommend covering the mic. and speaker ports to prevent water ingress. Is this correct? I wonder if this is necessary, given that none of the buttons or dials are sealed. These are great little cameras; I've had a few, including the small sensor ones they used to make. I myself have not had a problem with dust on the sensor, at least not that I've noticed, although many others have. Another accessory that is useful with this camera is a thumb grip that fits into the hotshoe. I have one on mine, and it still fits in the leather case, although its the GC-5 case, which is different from the ones you use. I find the thumb grip improves the ergonomics substantially.

I was shooting an OM1, a film camera, and made the mistake of loading a roll of film while on the beach. First shot of my vacation and I jammed the camera. I thought I was being careful, but some grit blew into it and that was it! Sand and cameras don't mix.

    I have the GR3x and use it with a 49mm UV filter on the GA-2 adapter. This protects the retracting lens barrel and the lens itself - there are several elements going in and out on the front of this camera. The filter you suggest has the benefits of being cheap and compact, but is glued to the lens element only and won't protect the outer barrel. The GA-2 and filter is bulky and significantly detracts from the compactness of the GR3, but offers more protection. I don't know where the dust paths are on this camera and where to add protection.

    • @GastonShutters
      @GastonShutters  Год назад +2

      Hey thanks for sharing. I know exactly what you are talking about. I went with the glued version because it doesn’t add any weight. The UV filter also comes with a removal tool. If it breaks easy to replace it. But definitely this camera can use some better weather sealing.

    • @professionalpotato4764
      @professionalpotato4764 11 месяцев назад +3

      I find it kinda pointless to use the adapter and filter route. The GR was meant to be pocketable. It is impossible to fully seal the GR because if you dig through old forum posts, someone has done a teardown revealing dust entering via the top scroll wheel. It will keep entering and collecting in there, until the rubber gasket that seals your sensor from dust breaks or comes lose when the glue fails, and dust will fall on the sensor. The lens mechanism is entirely isolated from the sensor, so no dust can enter the sensor via the lens, except getting stuck inside the lens elements. The stick on filter prevents that from happening and also prevents the leaf mechanism from breaking. I've seen too many people break it from slight touch and bumps.

    • @GastonShutters
      @GastonShutters  11 месяцев назад +1

      @professionalpotato4764 still perfectly pocketable. The lens tends to collect dust easily because it has many cavities opened and the UV filter takes care of that and makes it easier to clean.

    Thankyou. GRIII and predecessor owner. I have most of the stuff you recommend plus the thumb grip and the Ricoh OVF (great for very strong Sun eg Aus). But many thanks as that case is what I always wanted as the metal lens cap is a bit large for the Rich leather case.

    • @GastonShutters
      @GastonShutters  10 месяцев назад +1

      My issue with the OVF is that you don’t know if you are in focus or not. So I don’t use it often for that reason.

    My GRiii x should arrive tomorrow - it replaces my original GRiii that I completely trashed over the last three years.
    I used the JJC filter, but it smashed, and when I tried to remove the ring, the front of the lens housing came away - I attempted to repair it myself, but I didn't do a great job, and over the next couple of years it collected so much dust that spotting images became ridiculous.
    This time around I plan to use the filter, a bag, a lens cap, tape, protective skins and everything - like you said, it's not as strong as it looks at first glance.
    And, if I need to remove the filter again, I'll make double sure I use the fishing wire and not a pocketknife!

    I'm doing my research on the GR iii, and it seems like a paradox. The point of an every-day, street camera is that you can bring it anywhere, but it seems like a drop of water or sand will render it completely useless. The fact you have to sacrifice functionality with tape, and are constantly worried if you'll damage the screen make me pass hard on it. What a shame, because the image quality and size is amazing.

    Incredibly impooorrrtannntt. Don’t use blowers to clean Ricoh lenses. Ricoh strongly advises against it and it is the cause of a lot of the dust issues people get. They get paranoid cause they’ve heard about the dust issues, so they use blowers which blow dust into the lens haha use wipes only, and make sure there’s no dust in or around the lens element.

    This anti dust covers of any kind: stickers, filters or else is just pure crap. Yep, you can get dust particles inside camera. Maybe large, maybe small. Maybe right after purchase or maybe during years. But with this accessories your camera begins to look like it some dad old lovely car with stickers, homemade custom painted bumper and so.
